from the stitched soles of men who outran justice.
2
from a wicker-like weaving of the spines of serpents.
3
from a pair of hollowed camel-humps and the unplucked hide of an ostrich.
4
from the manes, fangs, and leather of a pair of gay man-eating lions.
5
of quicksilver miraculously woven into rippling cloth.
6
from the contiguous carapaces of remarkably boot-shaped insects.

These boots are adorned
1
with colourful ribbons like ballet shoes.

with jingling golden bells.

with feathery plumes down their backs.
4
with bejewelled hobnails.
5
with in-sewn stockings embroidered with calligraphic prayers to gods of movement and travel.
6
with thin chains of tin and painted glass.
D6
These boots let their wearer
1
tread unharmed on water, lava, oozes, and all other at-least-mostly-fluids.
2
dance any dance perfectly.
3
kick with the force of a horse, and let any of their strikes against something marked by their boot-print - even something as light as a breath - hit it with the force of a horse's kick.
4
leap vertically up to any height they can see - though they provide no protection on the way down.
5
march forever without becoming exhausted, and at the moment of death set a location anywhere in the world for their boots to march their corpse to.

click their heels together twice to return to the position they stood ten paces back.
D6
These boots can be found

with their last wearer's legs still sticking out of them - bone-in - in a dungeon.

being modelled by an animate mannequin.
3
in the collection of a leprechaun cobbler who is trying to figure out how to curse them, as he does all his wares.
4
in the cottage of a giant, who uses them as thimbles.
5
being worn by a senile wanderer with outlandish tales of far-flung lands.
6
being worshiped by a colony of feral cats as their god.
D6
If these boots don't fit
1
you're shit outta luck.
2
they can be resized by any wizard with knowledge of transmutation.
3
they'll magically resize themselves.
4
they'll Bed of Procrustes your feet to fit them.
5
you can go on a quest on behalf of a god of footwear (or some similar domain) to have them miraculously reshaped.

you can remake them by hand - but take care not to break their enchantment in the process.
